We purchased the "Physics of Toys" set from Central last year. I was disappointed. The manual is nice. The toys are the cheap plastic variety that last about 10 minutes in the hands of students. Many of them don't work well. I think you could get what's in the set on the retail market for around $25. For somewhat more than that, you could get decent versions that might work better. I'd recommend buying the manual and heading for a decent toy store. Another thought -- try to get hold of some of the old "Professor Wonderful" video tapes by the late Julius Sumner Miller. Most of the segment involved toys. He also did several on just the physics of toys. Hank Deemer Pequea Valley HS Kinzers, PA
